Proverbs 1:29-33

Why?—because they hated knowledge, and they didn't choose to respect the Lord.

They're not willing to accept my advice; they despise all my warnings.

So they'll have to eat the fruit of their own choices, bloated by their own devious schemes.

Stupid people are killed by their rebellion; foolish people are destroyed by their lack of concern.

But everyone who listens to me will be kept safe, and will live without worrying about problems.”
